Craig Unger's Book Banned at Amazon-UK

Posted on July 30, 2004

According to the Guardian, Craig Unger's bestselling book, House of Bush, House of Saud:The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties is not being carried by Amazon UK, although it is being carried by traditional bookstores.

Amazon.co.uk refused to explain why the site would not stock the book, saying only: "Due to legal reasons, we are currently not listing this title."

The book focuses on alleged business links between President Bush's family and friends and the Saudi Arabian royal family. Apparently the online bookseller is worried about libel lawsuit threats from a billionaire Saudi businessman based in Jeddah.
